Chapter 22 - Evolved

Brock and Alice moved passed the rocks that blocked their view of a small clearing. In the clearing was a pedestal that had a crystal floating on it. There was also two chests and a pile of gold on the ground.

"Well it looks like that's the core floating there, I guess it's time to flip to see who gets it." Alice looked at Brock and stated. Brock didn't even answer back, he was just staring at the core. Alice sighed, " you're not going to go back on our deal are you? I would hate to have to kill the only other Dragon Knight because of greed."

Brock came out of his trance and shook his head. "You really should have signed a contract you know, I can't let you have that core." Brock snapped his fingers and suddenly a light appeared behind him. Out of the light stepped three people that Alice knew. It was the same three Wyvern Knights that she had already sent back to level 1 once Nero, Martin and Drake. "You can either let me have the core or you and your pink abomination can perish here." Brock sneered, however even with the three Wyvern Knights by his side he wasn't sure he could defeat Alice. Brock decided to try to intimidate Alice hoping she would just let it go." I'll even let you have the chests and the gold." He hoped by sweetening the pot he would be able to persuade her.

Alice shook her head, she really should have signed a contract as the game wouldn't let anybody cheat each other when a contract had been signed. Alice started to weigh her options, she was pretty sure she could defeat Brock but she wasn't sure she could defeat all four at the same time. Alice knew that she was quite a bit stronger then Brock but his Dragon was almost 7 levels higher then her.

"Hey Brock that wasn't our deal you said you'd help us get revenge on this bitch. You can either honor your deal with us or we'll simply walk away." Nero seemed to be the leader of the three, and he knew he had Brock over a barrel as Brock had kept them updated about the progress that him and Alice made going up the mountain. "We already know that you can't defeat her on your own. So make your choice either start attacking her in the next 10 seconds or we'll simply walk away."

"Well unfortunately you heard the man, I guess this has become a no win scenario for you hahaha." Brock laughed. "I guess you really should pick your enemies better, not that I 'am one it's just I would like to be #1 when it comes to Dragon's."

Brock looked like he was going to have to do something he didn't want to do, however Alice knew better as he obviously had this planned before they ever left the town of Dromis. Alice instantly formed a battle strategy, she would take out the Wyvern Knights first and then hopefully be able still have enough strength left to deal with Brock.

Suddenly a pink flash burst passed everyone and swallowed the Dragon Evolve Core before anything could happen.' mother stop them for a couple of minutes' suddenly a voice flared in Alice's head. Shit that goddamn dragon was going to get her killed, but how did it talk to her.

Brock immediately attacked Alice's dragon but before Noir's attack could land, a crystal cocoon enveloped Dragon completely negating his attack. "Shit you goddamn bitch you planned this, you three help me attack her before her dragon evolves, otherwise we are all dead." Alice was surrounded by 8 enemies.

The only good thing was now Brock couldn't use his dragon to attack as he would harm his allies. Unfortunately for Alice every Wyvern Knight started off with attack skills. Alice closed the distance with the closest Wyvern Knight.

Realizing he was in danger, Martin sent out his wyvern to block Alice from getting to him. Alice didn't hesitate and attacked his wyvern with everything she had. Wyvern's had about one third the stats of dragons.

Alice figured with her advanced levels in her armor and weapons she would be able to suppress each wyvern knight with out to much difficulty. She figured that as long as she kept her eye on her health and used healing potions at the key moments then she would easily be able to defeat them. As Alice landed her attacks on the first wyvern she simultaneously received attack on her back. Alice wasn't a fool though she didn't stay put and immediately went after Martin again, with her level advantage it didn't take her long to defeat him. It seemed that these fools had only leveled up their wyvern's as well. Alice turned and flashed an evil smile at the remaining 6 enemies.

"It's to bad that you idiots only leveled up your pets. If you two walk away now I'll kill you at some later time. Hell I'll even only do it once. But if you two stay...." Alice got interrupted by Noir's attack landing on her. Shit I got to far from the group, I need to close the distance again. Thinking this way she used one of her healing potions and dashed towards Drake. As she neared Drake the same pattern played out, Drake sent out his wyvern, Alice moved around it and directly took out Drake.

"What level are you guys don't tell me you've just been waiting for Brock to summon you here like good little slaves. At this rate I won't even need my dragon to defeat all of you." Nero never answered instead he just turned and ran. "Hahaha it looks like your little army has failed you Brock." Alice was laughing but she was pissed right off she was going to slice Brock's head clear off.

Alice started to advance on Brock, Nero may have run off but she wouldn't let Brock of the hook. He used her, and basically threatened to send her all the way back to level 0 with his little army of idiots. 'mother don't kill him I want to eat his dragon' Dragon sent another message to Alice. Alice showed an purely wicked smile to Brock as the crystal around Dragon started to break apart.

As the crystal shattered it was accompanied by flash of light. There Stood Dragon, no longer was she a small pink puff ball, now she was a meter tall and two and a half meters long, all her fur was gone replaced by pink pearlescent scales that seemed to change color as the sun glared off them.

It wasn't as powerful as when Noir used it but Dragon was also 5 levels lower then Noir.

'Thank you mother. Also my name is Tia so please quit calling me Dragon that's an awful name.' Once again Alice received a direct transmission from her dragon. Alice could only nod her head.

"Well lets get the treasure and then head back to Dromis, I'm sure Brock and his cronies will try something if we stay out in the open." There was 250 gold and the treasure chests both held another crystal like the one she had gotten from defeating Burst, so now she had three. Alice would have to ask Garelend what these crystal were. "Alright lets go back." Alice and Tia had no troubles going back as it seemed all the wolves had decided that they no longer wanted to fight with them.
